Overall Rating

Perfect for relaxation and easy to get to and from the beaches!

Left on 09/02/2012 for a stay in August 2012 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

Quick response time from the owner, and excellent instructions made our rental experience hassle-free. The house was immaculate, well stocked with kitchen necessities, supplied beach towels, bed are comfy, and the garden is spacious and shaded by a lovely tree. Our fist morning we saw hummingbirds come to drink water from the "waterfall fountain!
We used the concierge book to find local restaurants. (Don't miss Paco's whatever you do!)
We walked to the Pavillions Grocery store. (10 min )and it was very well stocked.
We enjoyed this rental so much, we will definitely be back!

Very comfortable house in quiet location

We had a great stay at the Zen Retreat. Arriving tired after a transatlantic flight, it was great to be greeted by lots of food goodies. We were a bit concerned when we saw the exterior but once inside it just seemed to get bigger and bigger! The service from anastasia was great. We tried the BBQ and discovered the gas was empty so called her on Sunday morning. By Sunday evening she'd been round and replaced it for us. Great central location for visiting all the obvious la attractions: Disney, Universal etc. but you do have to drive everywhere, including the beach (but then we're Brits and used to walking so probably being fussy!). Never got to grips with Marina del Rey itself - just couldn't seem to find the right bit. Our teenager loved Venice Beach though and we enjoyed hiring bikes and cycling over to Santa Monica beach and beyond. Thanks for a great stay - you were considerably better and more helpful than another rental we took in San Francisco - well done!! Read more

Response from LA Zen Retreats - 08/20/2010

Owner's response:

The Marina Del Rey Zen Retreat is an eco friendly home. With that in mind the Third Power Design team was in the process of redesigning the front lawn by removing the grass and designing a drought resistant environment with an innovative watering system that uses 75% less water. Charlottes visit was in the first days of removing the lawn. All in the good of the bigger picture. It has evolved into even more of a serene Zen home and eco conscious retreat. In regards to walking to shops there is a park, shopping center with Great stores like the Gap etc, restaurants coffeeshops all within a 5 to 10 minute minute walk.
WE HAVE SOME PICTURES OF THE PROCESS .IT'S LOOKING GREAT!

Romance at last!

My husband & I stayed here in March. we were coming to visit his parents in
Santa Monica. Instead of it being a "meeting the parents" trip it turned out to
be a romantic and relazxing vacation thanks to the Zen Retreat. They had a
great tray laid out for us with wine,cheese,fruit, chocolates and homemade
muffins They don't even advertise this as an amenity. They also had mini
baskets in each bathroom with lovely lotions and soaps. I would recommend
this vacation rental to everyone. Thanks guys!

Excellent

This was an amazing find. We were traveling with another family and decided a
vacation rental was a good idea--after being at the Zen Retreat-- we know it
was a GREAT idea. The house was perfect-we prepared all our meals in the
fantastic kitchen, relaxed in the wonderful backyard--the entire place is very
well equipped and easily accommodated 6 adults. it was truly a good
experience--highly recommend. Our son moved to LA so this will definitely be
where we stay when we visit California again. And the owner is very responsive
to inquires and questions. EXCELLENT-Thank you!

Every bit as good

We stay in a lot of rented houses, and this property is on the top of our list. It
is very roomy (the master bedroom is huge) there are two bathrooms, the
kitchen is large and very well stocked-you cannot beat it. Plus the neighbood
gets a steady ocean breeze

Absolutely Wonderful

My husband, myself and our two little girls have been coming to Los Angeles
to visit my folks 2 or 3 times a year for the past 5 years. We wanted to be a
few minutes to the beach and have a place for the kids. All we can say is WOW!
We want to thank Anastacia for making the visit the best in 5 years. No
kidding! What a gorgeous place. When I got an email inviting us to comment
on our stay I did not hesitate for a second. Any one that chose this retreat
would be giddy when they arrived. For couples, families, singles. I wish all the
vacation owners took such care and pride of ownership as she does!! Cheers!

Loved Loved Loved it!

My daughter found this home for us to stay while we were visiting her for her
graduation. I was skeptical not staying in a hotel but this was the most
beautiful home! Even more beautiful than the pictures she sent me. It was so
peaceful. We had wonderful family dinners in the dining room and the
backyard. Everything was thought of in this home. It had everything I could
imagine a home could have. I felt like I was a member of the families. Loved
